OpenFOAM - Density/turbidity current
We have
implemeted density/turbidity current solvers in OpenFOAM. Combined with
the immersed boundary method, this solver can solve density/turbidity
current over rough and uneven bottom. Our interest is to investigate
the effect of bottom roughness on the development of the
current.
